Radio sounds, waft through the house, from the front, from the back, same channel, crackle into the air. Local jazz station, my radios don’t tune in so well. But I love it anyway. And I could stream digital but, would rather not. The crackle, something about it, from the past, like the music, reminding me …

Yosemite
Things came together today. I’m pretty grateful. I really want to take my kids on a summer adventure. My older daughter suggested Yosemite not too long ago. Until then I had been thinking camper road trip. When she said Yosemite, the trip drew into better focus. Yosemite. More than a thousand square miles of mostly …
Snippets of GOOD
From an old friend, this quote, recently shared. I think it stands pretty well on its own. Enjoy. I did. Do. "As long as we observe love for others and respect for their rights and dignity in our daily lives, then whether we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in the Buddha or God, …
Inside, Outside
Where we spend our time, inside, outside. Literally, and figuratively. In the world, in our heads. Who are we outside? Inside? The same, or different...? These questions churn through my noggin most days, challenge me, inspire me, forward, the stop! Then forward again. Striving to understand, live the truth, each day, nudge, speed, forward. Inside, …
In the Wake: Misc., Weekend
Lots packed in; adventure, chores, errands, fun. With the kids, it’s all in the wheelhouse of what’s possible; and it was. Some good lessons both ways; and some little victories that add to the foundation of their future. So bright, I gotta wear shades; so bright, I gotta wear shades.

Blog Post Like A Tweet: “Confidence Rising”
This guy, number two, been through a lot his eight years. So thankful for him and his tender way, his capacity for silly, even his defiance - he has a fight to be himself, through it all. Go man, GO.
Tribe
A few of the tribe come together, the warmth, the laughter, easy sharing, caring, catching up, so good, so good. What does the tribe do? Some how through some magic, a sense of belonging, knowing, acceptance, concern. It fortifies, reassures, comforts. My tribe? At least two. SCHS85, SCU89. When I’m with these people the thick …
